Bug#368575: grep --color -i does not behave as expected.

2006-05-23 Thread JL Lacroix 
Package: grep
Version: 2.5.1.ds1-4

The color highlight does not behave consistently.


$ echo hello Linux | grep --color -i 'l'
hello Linux
 ^^ ^
-- match and highlight ok.


$ echo hello Linux | grep --color -i 'L'
hello Linux

-- match ok but no highlight.

Possible workaround by using option -F
$ echo hello Linux | grep --color -i -F 'L'
hello Linux
 ^^ ^
-- match and highlight ok. 

Debian 3.1
Kernel 2.4.27
Libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge3

I think this is bug #226397, known and fixed.

http://bugs.debian.org/226397
grep: -i --color will not color matches when pattern contains uppercase

Could you test with grep 2.5.1.ds2-2 or later?

Thanks
Justin
